its a great app, has potential But needs alot to be fixed, runs low and has speech hesitation for T-Mobile mytouch LG. but like I said it does have great potential. Could be like the siris for android if fixed properly

A Google User

Useful, but feels incomplete. People have said that it's slow and that's kind of true, but my main concern is command recognition. Like hardware settings. I can change Wifi settings, Bluetooth and other settings, but not GPS for some reason. Also, it would be nice to get a confirmation first before it opens the browser for a search.

Take notes even when you don't feel like typing! Just speak your note, and it will be saved as text. This notepad app was designed to quickly jot down your ideas, with minimal hassle. And it makes it easy to keep those ideas organized.

Features:

* Hands-free speech recognition at the press of a single button.

* Searchable. Notes are indexed for fast searching.

* Password protection option for notes.

* Share notes with SMS, email, Twitter, and any other app that accepts plain text.

* Quickly add notes. If you have a slide out keyboard, just slide it out and start typing.

* Accepts plain text from other apps that share.

* Password locked notes are encrypted beyond the first 20 characters. This allows you to be able to identify and search for the note, while at the same time have the rest of it encrypted with the AES encryption standard. This is the same encryption standard used by the US government and banks.

* Star notes with star filtering.

* Color-code notes and filter your list by color.

* Organize notes by category.

* Deleted notes are moved to the trash so you have a chance to restore them.

Added Features:

* SD Card Backup and Restore. Lets you make a backup of all your notes and stores them encrypted on your SD card.* Continue button after creating your voice note, so you can add additional speech text if needed.* Time to Breathe option - lets you choose how long to wait before stopping speech input.* Full Screen and popup screen text editors.* Quotation marks. You can now say Quotation Mark and it will place one in your note.* Carriage Return. You can say Carriage Return to simulate pressing the Enter key.* Category Sharing. You can share/export an entire category of notes.* Light and Dark Themes.

Popular uses:

* Text editor. This is the classic note pad functionality. ListNote works well as a scratchpad, memopad, or note book - much like the classic android apps colornote, ak notepad, and note everything, but with more speech-to-text functionality.* Quick and easy note taking with speech to text. Your voice is "recorded" as text. Does not function as an actual voice recorder though.* You can create a to do list, also refered to as a ToDo list, or 2do list. Similar to list maker apps such as anydo (any.do) or mobislenotes, but with voice recognition as a more integral part.* Task list. Like other free notepad apps such as wunderlist, astrid, or gtd, but with speech recognition playing a more prominent role.* Shopping list. Great when you want to quickly write down something you'll need at the grocery store.* Notebook organized with color tabs. You can make a color note tab by long-pressing a note and selecting "Change Tab Color".* Simple notetaking. Many people prefer a notepad app that doesn't require you to make an account and upload all your notes to a server like Evernote or Springpad. There is no account necessary with ListNote. All your notes are stored on your own device.* Dictation software. You can transcribe your thoughts quickly and easily. You can then edit the result like you would with any text pad or scratch pad. When you're editing the notes with the textpad, you can insert speech anywhere in the text, and even undo the last speech input if it didn't turn out right.* Memo pad. Works great as a memo app, much like others such as inkpad, mobisle, and catch, but with a different feature set.* Secure notes. You can create safe notes that are private. These private notes are locked with password protection. When you lock a note it's an easy way to encrypt text from prying eyes.

Requirements:

* Google voice search is required for speech to text functionality to work. Most devices come with it pre-installed. If you don't want to use the speech recognition functions, the app is still fully functional without it.

The NaturalReader text-to-speech application converts any text into spoken words.

Instead of struggling to read text on the small screen of your phone, with this cutting edge technology you can have any text read to you in one of over 30 natural-sounding voices.

Squinting to reading tiny fonts on your phone screen can be tiring. NaturalReader saves you from experiencing eye strain, and lets you sit back, relax, and listen.

It is also an efficient proofreading tool; it not only picks out mistakes in your work, but gives you a good sense of the natural flow of what you have written.

Moreover, NaturalReader is a great help to students with dyslexia or other learning difficulties. By listening to text rather reading, students are better able to comprehend reading materials or detect spelling errors in their own work.

Finally, NaturalReader is a great tool with which to learn a foreign language. You can practice your comprehension and pronunciation skills by listening to any written words being spoken at your preferred speed.

We will continue to work on this application to provide more functions to you, such as downloading files from google drive, dropbox; opening PDF files, Word documents and Ebooks. Please check out our upgrades regularly.

IMPORTANT: You need Text-To-Speech engine and voices installed on your device to use this app. You may use more than one if you want.

Features:* Click "Share" or "Send by Email" button/menu item in any app to send text to @Voice Aloud Reader for aloud reading over speakers or a headset.* If "Share" is not available, copy text in another app and paste it into @Voice for aloud reading.* Option to instantly read aloud text copied to clipboard.* Open text, PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, OpenOffice documents or HTML files from Android file system for reading aloud.* Experimental EPUB format support. It's only for reading aloud, no fancy full featured EPUB reader, e.g. does not show pictures, many more features of a full reader are missing. To try, use "Open" button at the top or on the menu, navigate to a folder with ePub files and open one of them.* Easily add saved Pocket articles to @Voice reading list - in Read List screen, press Menu - Add articles from Pocket* Save articles opened in @Voice to files for later listening. Construct listening lists of many articles for uninterrupted listening one after the other. Order the list as needed, e.g. more important articles first.* Record spoken articles to sound files - WAV (uncompressed) or OGG (compressed) formats supported.* Long-press word and/or select a longer phrase to view dictionaries, translations, Wikipedia, Web search and more.* Dropbox sync! Enable, then build your list on one device, e.g. a tablet, then listen on your phone. Or from your computer, use File/Save As - "HTML only" function in the browser, save to @Voice Dropbox folder, then listen on your phone.* Easily control speech generator volume, pitch and rate of speech.* Pause/resume speech as needed with wired or Bluetooth headset buttons, plus click Next/Previous buttons to jump by sentence, long-click the same buttons to switch to the next/previous article on a list.* Can automatically recognize the language of an article and use appropriate TTS voice, if available, or set your preferred voices manually with "Select language" menu item.* Options for additional pause between paragraph, start talking as soon as a new article is loaded or wait for a button press, start/stop talking when wired headset plug is inserted/removed.* Optional sleep timer to stop speech after a given timeout.

ABOUT PERMISSIONS:

The full Internet access is needed because the “Share” function from web browsers and any news reading apps I tried, sends us only the URL address (http://something...). They do not send the full text of articles, so @Voice has to download the article from the Internet to be able to read it aloud or save for later reading. Only by using Copy text function in one app, and pasting it in @Voice, or by saving the full text in one app to storage and opening a file in @Voice, you could avoid Internet connection, but this is not very convenient. Also - the new Dropbox sync function needs Internet access, of course. There is no way to avoid it.

Enhance Text To Speech reader application that is simple, effective, flexible, intelligent and highly productive. With the aid of the notification status bar icon, active Text To Speech processing can be stopped, edited, modified and restarted. Alternatively, just copy new text to the clipboard to interrupt Text To Speech processing with the new task.

Just what you have been waiting for. I wanted this functionality for myself and had to write my own application to get it. This is because the older APIs can not easily accomplish a satisfactory clipboard monitoring solution. Well now I can share this solution with the world and hopefully some of you out there will have a requirement for such an application and appreciate what this application delivers.

You probably spent hundreds on a device, yet fight very hard not to spend a small amount on a useful App. Please support by purchasing this paid version.

In the event of a serious software problem (crash after an update, try uninstall reinstall) then please email crash/freeze to easysolutionsglos@gmail.com directly to help identify and fix as quick as possible. Apologies in advance.

say "next" to move to the next line, say "delete" to delete a word,say "delete 5" to delete 5 wordssay "delete 10" to delete 10 words and so on.

This app is great for creating to-do lists, grocery list, dictation, and other notes in general. You can also share your notes using your favorite app (Gmail, twitter, Google Hangout, SMS, etc).

It also needs Google Text to Speech if you are interested in Text to Speech features in the app.
